Realizations, I think are wonderful. Whenever you have one it’s as if a light bulb goes off, and you can now see what has been right in front of your eyes-literally. I’ve had countless moments like this, and the specific moment I am writing about involves something I’ve been in search of for years on end. I have finally found the woman of my dreams. Perhaps she may not know she fits the jacket, but I am quite sure of it myself. I’m writing…whatever one would call this because I think that the situation is a bit funny or ironic to say the least. I’ve spoken to many women about the problems I seem to be having in finding the woman of my dreams, and they all give me the same worn out argument or so it seems at least. Each and every one of them has told me that good things come to those who wait… she will come to you when you’re not looking…and so on. I didn’t agree, and thought I might remain a bachelor for life because my standards were a bit too high. That wasn’t the case however, and I realized that my standards weren’t being set too high; they were too narrow. By narrow I mean only one kind of woman holds my interest or I think only one kind of woman can have me fall in love with her. An intelligent, compassionate, understanding, considerate and any other wonderful characteristic you may think of, sort of woman. Yeah I want that in a woman, but if she doesn’t look like my ideal woman, well…then I am not interested. And what this woman looks like is a dark, lovely and elegant beauty. Someone who would stop my thoughts every time I looked her way. Large and wonderfully enchanting eyes, full and supple lips that part way to reveal an equally stunning smile, and a figure that makes me moan. The disclaimer is that she must have all that I want. The looks as well as the personality, which is to say the characteristics mentioned earlier. I’ve searched high and low for this woman, and continually…regrettably…I come up short. One day however, I ran into a girl I’ve known for years. We first met in high school, and back then she was infatuated with me. I mean I would get love letters so frequently and consistently from her you would she was looking into a new standard for time. Well at any rate, I was involved with someone at the time, and as the story goes I turned her down. I did this for reasons including the fact that I was in a relationship. I just could not see myself being with a girl like her. She had a few of the qualities I thought were essential, but when all was tallied up she didn’t fit the bill. After the brief conversation we had that day in the park I began to think and reflect on all of the past conversations we shared. The more I thought, and the more I considered, I realized all the more that she was exactly the kind of woman I needed. The woman I wanted…well, she’s nice. She’s very nice, but how many women have I met that actually fit the jacket yet none of them want to wear it? I can say that I matured upon that realization. This woman that I needed now became the woman I wanted. Why shouldn’t she? Of all the woman I have encountered and been interested in she remains the only one who has convinced me she is deserving of the devotion I would give to her. She alone deserves to be called me queen, wife and lady. In no way is she self-centered or feels that she is too good for me. She’s kind, patient and not to mention beautiful, although not in the way I once thought my dream woman would be. All the same she is beautiful. |
